Democrats and Others Against the Presidents Judicial Nominations Can't Be Christian!

On April 24th Frist, Delay, The Family Research Council, and others are planning “Justice Sunday,” and a national TV broadcast that will portray Democrats as “against people of faith.” I have news for Senators Frist and Delay, and the Family Research Council.* I am a person of faith, and I am a Democrat. I am not against people of faith. I am the Christian who is being persecuted here.

Stop mixing politics with religion! No Democrat is out to get people of faith. Instead, extremely political people are out to get one another, and certain right of right scheming, dare I say "dishonest," politicians are out to use extremely conservative Christians to eliminate liberal Christians like myself from the political process. Additionally, through this effort and others, Frist "et al" wish to exclude some religious/spiritual and sexual minorities from the American dream of freedom and justice for all. It is the greatest effort of its kind since Jim Crow in which African Americans were segregated physically in public life from all other racial and ethnic populations.

It is time for evangelicals to wake up from dreams of an evangelical Christian America. Observe how you are being used by these power hungry politicians.

Stand up for Your Beliefs

We, Republican and Democrat alike who think similarly on this issue, must take a stand against Democrat and Liberal Christian bashing because it is designed to garner more power for these politicians. And, in particular, it is designed to protect Senator Delay, and perhaps others, from damage accrued due to unlawful activities. Democrats, contact the Democratic National Committee in the fight against "the dictators of faith". Republicans and Democrats who believe in equality for all, it is time to write your congressmen, senators, and the president to state your position. Senators, by state can be found at U.S. Senate: Senators Home. Congress members can be located by state atU.S. Congressman”Contacting the Congress.” In order to contact the President, go to Contacting The Whitehouse,” at The White House, President George W. Bush.

About Me

I am an 87 year old gay X-Amish artist recently moved to South Florida from the Pine Needle Retirement Home in Lancaster, PA. In my journal I detail my daily existence here, in South Florida. I write about Art, my art, art criticism, art theory, LGBT issues, ageism, philosophy, and politics. I also channel Stephen Gulliver a 28 year old gay man from an alternate reality in which a neo-conservative government threatens the lives of lesbian and gay people.
